This invention relates to avradiator for heating pv poses adapted to be used either with steam or hot water. f

The object of the invention is' to provide s a radiator which can be installed inthe. lace of the ordinary baseboard in a room, oing away with the unsightly and bulkyl radiators at present used, and utilizingthe space now taken up by such radiators for other purposes.

The invention consists .of a baseboard radiator constructed as hereinafter set forth and particularly as ointed out inthe clanns. Referring to the rawings Fig. 1 is afront elevation of a pair of baseboard radiators connected together and broken away to save space in the'drawin s. Fig. 2 is a plan view lof the radiators 1llustrated in Flg. 1.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on line 903-3,Fig.1. Y

Like numerals refer to like arts throughout the several views of the rawings.

In the drawings, 5 and 6 are two radiators,

duplicates of each other, and joined together by nipples 7 and 8. Each of the radiators 5 and 6 comprise a front section 9 and a rear section 10, these sections forming together a rectangular radiator section. The sections 9 and 10 are spaced apart by an airzcham- I0 ber 11 which has baile plates 12 therein, positioned in staggered relation to each other.

These baille plates extend the entire length of the sections 9 and 10. The air chamber 11 is inclined vertically at an angle from theA rear toward the front and is partly closed at the top by a grille 13, said'air chamber being open at the bottom to admit air from beneath the sections 9 and 10.

Heated uid is admitted to the rear section 10 through a pipe 14 and passesinto the section 9 through nipples or pipes 15. The `heated uid passes out of the section 9 into the front section ofthe radiator 6 through the pipe8, and the heated Huid passes from the rear section 10 of the radiator 5 into the rear section of the radiator 6 through the pipe 7, and out of the front section of the radiator 6 throu h pipe 19.

A sheet of as stos 16 is interposed between the backs of the radiators 5 and 6 and the wall 17 of the room which the rad-e-` tors are installed. A base molding 18 is fasv 'tened to the wall 17 and rests onthe top of the v rear section 10.

The heating fluid passes through-the ra- 55 diators 5 and 6 and hot air passes upwardly through the air chamber 11 in the direction 'of the arrows a and also asses upwardly along the front face of the ont sectlon 9, as shown by the arrow b. 60

The radiator ofV this invention A'forms' a member which is rectangular in cross section and can be inserted in the place of a baseboard, the sameperforming the function of a baseboard and having a similar apu pearance, except that` it is thicker. In practice. the thickness of the radiatorwould be about twoinches where the vbaseboard is one inch in thickness.

A large amount of radiating surface is 7o y supplied by the radiator of this invention, by

both of the walls of the chamber and front wall of the section 9. The bailies 12 are insertedv in the chamber 11 and positioned in staggeredrelati'on to each other, in order to 75 dela and divert the air in its passage from the ottom out of the top of the radiator, whereby the air will have suicient time to become thoroughly heated beforev emerging through the grille 13. l l

One of the principal advantages of this invention resides in the fact that in addition to doing away with the unsightly and bulky radiators at present used, the radiator can be extended across the entire width or length of a roomA without taking up much if any ace than the resent baseboard, and byso oing, the air o the entire room passes to the bottom of the radiator up through the radiator and up towards the top of the room and back to the other end of the room throughout the entire width of the room, thus giving complete circulation of air and heating all the air in the room much more eiliciently than the radiators in present use, which only occu y a small portion of the width or length o? the room in which they are located.

Another great advantage to be obtained by the use of the radiator ofthis invention is lofi thatbeing located near the floor and extending across the entire width or length ofthe room, a much more perfect circulation of the air in the room is obtained and the air at the bottom of the room, which is always coldest and dampest, will enter the radiator and be heated and then dispersed throughout the entire room. The'advantage of this complete circulation and heating of the air in the room renders it unnecessary to heat the radiator to such a highdegree aswhere the radiator is short and located only in' a portion of one side or end of the room, so that air being completely heated and circulated throughout the. entire room, the radiator does not have to be heated to such a high degree in order to make the room comfortable, and in order to do away with the dry heat which results from a high temperature radiator.

Another advantage secured by the radiator of this invention is that the air chamber 11, as particularly illustrated in Fig. 3, is inclined vertically from the rear toward the front of the radiator, so that the air as it passes out of the radiator is directed away from the back of the radiator and consequently away from the wall of the room and any pictures or draperies which may be located above it. Thus the soiling of the curtains and of the wallsand of the ceiling of the room just above the radiator is entirely obviated. This is of great value as compared with the radiators in present use, in which the heated air passes from the radiator directly up along the wall through the draperies and against the pictures and soils them in a short time after they are installed.

It will be understood that the usual valves I for shutting off or admitting the steam or hot water into the radiator will be used and also the well-known air valves, although these valves are not shown in the drawings, they being well known to those skilled in the art.

I claim: 1. A baseboard radiator having, in combination, two hollow sections spaced apart byv an air chamber open at the top and bottom, baille plates in said chamber positioned in staggered relation to each other, and means to conduct heated fluid into and out of said sections.

2. A baseboard radiator having, in combination, two hollow sections rectangular in cross section positioned one in front of the other and spaced apart by an air chamber, a pipe leading into and another pipe leading out of the `upper part of one section, a pipe leading into and another pipe leading out of the lower part of the other section, and a pipe connecting the bottom parts of said sections together, whereby heated fluid may be circulated through said sections.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
